We just learned the President bought up to $5 million in Dell stock beginning on 10 February. Dell then secured a five-year, $9.7 billion Pentagon software contract. On 8 May, he publicly told Americans to buy Dell.
Every dollar in that contract comes from taxpayers. Every weapons system, every deployment, every decision the Pentagon makes is supposed to serve the country, not the personal wealth of the person at the top. When the Commander in Chief profits from the institutions he commands, the line between public service and private gain disappears.
This is corruption. Congress has a duty to investigate it.

Common Defense is proud to endorse Cori Bush for Missouri's 1st Congressional District.
Cori is a nurse, an organizer, and a proven fighter for working families. She has stood with veterans in the fight to protect democracy, end the forever wars, and rebuild the institutions that serve our communities.
She understands what true security looks like.
Not built through bloated Pentagon budgets or endless conflicts abroad.
It is built by investing in healthcare, housing, climate action, and the right of every American to vote.
Our movement of veterans is honored to stand with her. St. Louis, we are showing up with you.

Today is not a celebration. It is a debt.
Some gave everything so the rest of us could live free, and the least we owe them is to remember exactly what that cost.
We do, today and every day.
To the fallen, and to the families who carry their absence: we honor you.
